Mum’s urgent plea after revealing Demi has just ‘months’ to live

A Louth mum is ‘literally begging’ for the public’s help after her daughter’s latest brain cancer scan results showed the disease was spreading quickly - leaving the youngster with just ‘months’ to live.

As reported previously, Demi Knight (11) is currently battling brain cancer for the second time, but since the standard treatment has failed there is nothing more the NHS can do.

‘Her disease is spreading and she’s got months (to live) if we don’t do anything’.

Her mum, Mel, said: “We have frantically been trying to find where promising treatment is available and have found the Burzynski Clinic in Houston, Texas, to offer us the best hope through using Antineoplaston Therapy. However, this will come at a cost that on our own is impossible to pay for.”

Demi’s family is trying to raise £150,000 to cover the cost of the experimental treatment, flights, and accommodation.

However, only £7,200 has been raised so far - and Demi’s situation has recently taken a turn for the worse.

Yesterday (Thursday), Mel told the Leader: “Our latest scan results today are not good and we need to get Demi out to the States now, before it’s too late.

“Her disease is spreading and she’s got months (to live) if we don’t do anything, but she needs to be well enough to travel over there.

“Please, if there’s anything you can do, money is all that is holding us back. The clinic are literally just waiting for us.”
